问题     The Web sometimes is seemed as the Siren specter that lures us into sitting around like some species of houseplant while our trunk grows abnormally wide. Its【C1】______enticements keep us from doing what we know we should, like, say, making any movement whatsoever or【C2】______foods that do not come packaged in Styrofoam(泡沫塑料).
    But according to a new research, the Internet can also be something else: a place for helping people keep weight off.
    The new study,【C3】______over a two-and-a-half-year period, found that the more often people logged on to a website, the more likely they were to【C4】______weight loss. Of course, it wasn’t just any old website, but one that investigators at the Kaiser Permanente Center for Health Research(KPCHR)had designed【C5】______to help people keep the pounds off.
    What made the website work was its mixture of accountability(责任)and【C6】______Users were asked to log in once a week to【C7】______their weight and the amount of exercise they’d done. If they didn’t log in regularly, they got a little nudge by e-mail, then a(n) 【C8】______phone call. Once on the site, users could chat with other【C9】______of the study in a kind of mini-Facebook setting.
    The site was designed to mimic as much as possible what it’s like to be in a weight-loss program that offers【C10】______counseling and group meetings. It wasn’t quite as effective as human-to-human interaction, but it was better than nothing at all.
A)abundant F)enter K)personal
B)attracts G)establish L)separately
C)automated H)maintain M)sociability
D)conducted I)obligation N)specifically
E)consuming J)participants O)warning
【C6】
选项
答案M
解析 名词辨析题。由空格所在句的固定短语mixture of和and可知，这里应填一个与accountability在形式和意思上并列的单词。通读第四段可以看出，第一句是中心句，下文分别就accountability和空格处单词展开论述。第二句和第三句阐述的是网站对用户的accountability“责任”方面，最后一句阐述的是第一句中空格处的内容。根据最后一句中的chat with other．．．可以推断出，sociability“社交性”符合句意。
